In an open letter Atlas has explained its difficulties for the past few years.Looks like there is light at the end of their tunnel and they are promising a better 2015...this is great news!!! I'll bet some manufacturers are already looking over their shoulders.

If you did not receive this Atlas news letter via e-mail you can find it on the Atlas Rescue forum

The video arrived on Friday, and I've really enjoyed it. It's a bit shorter than most of the JPM videos (50 minutes), but the quality and content are fabulous. As always, Mike Bednar's narration complements the visuals perfectly. Watching this almost makes me want to model the '70s rather than the '50s. Thanks again for for bringing it to our attention, Chris.
